教學目標
This course explores literature and cinema as art forms that convey their languages, as media that reflect their cultural contexts, and as platforms that document social issues and deliver socio-political messages. To provide a thematic focus for our in-class discussion, the course of the semester hovers around the issues of social injustices. Beginning with Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, we will watch its film adaptation by Robert Mulligan and investigate the issues of racial and sexual inequities. Then, we will read Betty Smith's novel, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, watch its film adaptation by Elia Kazan, and delve into the sorrow and pathos of those who grow up in poverty and social discrimination. After that, we will read Ernest Hemingway's short story, "Cat in the Rain," and John Steinbeck's short story, "The Snake," watch the documentary film《十二夜》and probe into the awareness of animal welfare and protection. And finally, we will read Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak, watch its film adaptation by Jessica Sharzer, and examine the issues of campus bullying, teen rape, and sexual violence. The class format includes lectures, in-class discussions, film screenings, oral presentations, and poster presentations.

教學目標
This two-semester course introduces students to the history, conventions, and metamorphosis of genre fiction. Also known as popular fiction, genre fiction has dominated the imagination of common readers for over a century. How is genre fiction different from “literary” works? What is the appeal of popular genres and what are readers’ expectations for each genre? This course invites students to discuss these questions through exploring major genres of popular fiction: fantasy, science fiction, crime, horror, romance, and historical fiction. We will read two works for each category: a “classic” in the genre and a contemporary example. Multimedia adaptations will also be included and students are encouraged to think about the close connection between genre fiction and popular media.
The second semester of this course examines three well-established genres—mystery, romance, and historical fiction—and the emergence of new genres in the past decade. We will discuss the close connection between romantic fantasy and historical settings, as well as the exploration of human psychology in mystery novels. 5/9開始遠距兩週，Teams連結：https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3acScASHZz4_Npqwy7Xz0pIrk6Hb923oB-sksT5rXLuIU1%40thread.tacv2/conversations?groupId=5600e0d2-d4c0-4113-a337-a06f95deae57&tenantId=5a484953-77ef-42ec-90cf-2f4e1037ffc7

This survey course introduces students to the history of American literature from 1865 through the present. Students will learn about the major periods and figures, as well as the historical, cultural, and critical contexts of American literature during this time. Emphasis will be placed as much on literary traditions and close readings of individual texts. Through active participation in classroom discussions and group presentations, students are encouraged to develop self-directed learning skills and independent thinking regarding the relationship between literary texts and their social contexts. 5/9開始遠距兩週，Teams連結：https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3aQsMgIhZ26FB289XDV8CNTANQzQfO_DDai5YB0JXp48U1%40thread.tacv2/conversations?groupId=c08873c0-ab00-4ed5-b96d-b65131b69b0d&tenantId=5a484953-77ef-42ec-90cf-2f4e1037ffc7

Many of the analysis-related activities in digital humanities can be handled with specific software solutions, e.g. GIS implementations of KWIC toos. When using these specific software solutions, only a basic understanding of the main concepts and a procedural knowledge of where and when to click is required. Yet, data have in most cases to be generated first, e.g. extracted from larger text corpora, or transformed into a specific format in order to fulfill the input requirements of a specific software. To overcome these two problems, knowledge of a general purpose programming language is helpful or required. In addition to the general features of a such a programming language, shared by many alternative programming languages, e.g. opening files, extracting information, and reorganizing this new information into new formats, some general purpose programming languages come with powerful add-ons, that can turn them into tools for specific analyses. These general purpose languages, combined with these highly specific add-ons can replace specialized software solutions implemented in graphical interfaces. This liberation from the graphical interface unleashed the full power of the computer. The repeated processing of similar data becomes possible, without having to go to the same sequence of clicking hundreds or thousands of times. In addition, the freedom to generate creative solutions for analysis and visualization, specific to the research question and not specific to the company that produces the interface, lays the foundation for groundbreaking and innovative research. Python is an excellently designed and frequently taught programming language for these two seemingly opposing purposes. Easy to learn and applicable to all kind of data acquisition and data processing problems, Python can be extended by powerful modules to do corpus analyses, natural language processing, pattern identification, statistical analyses, geographic analyses, time-line analyses or network analyses. These properties have made Python to become the most frequently and extensively employed programming language in the Humanities, in teaching as well as in research: Using the same, simple-to-learn, basic Python syntax in advanced modules, users can concentrate on the concepts, the predicates that implement them and the design of creative solutions for analysis and visualization.

課程內容與進度
This course aims to promote insight, practice and confidence in the usage of the programming language in general and of Python more specifically. Students should by the end of the course understand the general principles of using a programming language, become acquainted with the principles of Python, and have develop literacy in that language. In addition students should be aware of the kind of programming that is common in the humanities (text analysis, network analysis etc) and which add-ons are available for these tasks. Finally students should explore as many of these add-ons as possible. Doing this work on their own data and creating their own solutions will show them that they are in state to produce exciting, innovative and thought provoking results. Week 1 and 2 starts with the very basics. Learning how to code is easy if somebody helps you with the start. The first steps will thus be very slow, making sure that students understood and master the new material. Week 3 and 4 will introduce students to the task of text processing. They will learn how to read files from a file system, how to clean them and compute a frequency distribution over words. Frequency distributions will be produced for long texts and for large collections of texts. Week 5 and 6 deal with preprocessing text. Students will experiment with some of the elementary tools to analyze their textual data. Week 7 and 8 are more theoretical. We will discuss some of the basic programming principles, common practices and where to find documentation. In week 9 and 10, students will first write a program to compute the readability of texts. Next, students will implement the basic algorithm that is behind authorship attribution. Week 11 and 12 will introduce students to the concept of Object Oriented Programming. Students will implement a network structure to analyze relations between people on Twitter. In week 13 and 14, we start working on more real applications. We will work on systems for archiving and searching through collections of text. We introduce students to the field of Information Retrieval and build a simple information retrieval system. In week 15 to 17, we create a web application to search through a library of PDF files. This will be our first real application ready for use by end-users. Theses weeks introduce students to many modules available in the standard library as well as third-party modules.
